Advanced Visual Protection for Sensitive Conditions
Medical Filters
Photoselective medical filters are an essential technology for improving visual comfort, reducing glare, and protecting the retina in cases of ocular pathologies or light-sensitive neurological conditions.
At Più Ottica centers, we offer a professional selection of medical filters specifically for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and photosensitive epilepsy, designed to improve visual quality and ensure greater safety in daily life.
These filters are not mere tints, but precision optical instruments capable of absorbing specific light wavelengths, stabilizing contrast, and reducing potentially harmful visual stimuli.
Filters for stabilizing light stimuli
Photosensitive Epilepsy
Photosensitive epilepsy is a form of epilepsy where seizures can be triggered by visual stimuli such as flashing lights, strong light contrasts, or repetitive patterns. People with this condition have a heightened sensitivity to particular types of light, especially within the frequency range that stimulates the visual cortex.
Photosensitive Epilepsy
How medical filters help
Photoselective filters indicated for photosensitive epilepsy:
• reduce the intensity of the most activating wavelengths (often in the blue range);
• stabilize light input, reducing sudden light peaks;
• reduce the risk of visual triggers in environments with artificial lighting;
• increase safety when using digital devices and monitors.
They are available in specific certified versions to maximize protection in cases of light hypersensitivity.
Photo-selective Medical Filters
technology and personalization
The medical filters used by Più Ottica are designed to select useful light and block harmful light, improving detail rendering and limiting visual disturbances.
They can be applied to:
• ophthalmic lenses with diopters;
• medical sunglasses;
• low vision glasses;
• customized lenses for daily use or specific activities.
Each filter is calibrated according to the pathology and individual visual parameters.
In our Più Ottica stores, we use advanced tools to ensure optimal results and minimal adaptation times.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CURIOSITY
Photosensitive epilepsy is a form of epilepsy where certain light stimulations—such as flickering lights, rapid flashes, high contrast, or repetitive visual patterns—can trigger a seizure. It manifests with symptoms like vision disturbances, sudden confusion, involuntary movements, or loss of consciousness in more severe cases. Recognizing early signs is crucial to reducing risks.
Seizures can be triggered by strobe lights, video games, digital screens with fast-moving images, very bright LED devices, and high-contrast video sequences. Flicker frequencies not perceptible to the naked eye can also pose a risk for those who are predisposed. For this reason, it is recommended to adjust device brightness, use reduced visual stimulation modes, and take regular breaks when exposed to screens.
Yes. Più Ottica offers medical glasses with certified photoselective filters, designed to reduce the most activating light frequencies and stabilize visual stimuli. These advanced filters—applicable to both prescription lenses and medical sunglasses—help limit flashes, intense contrasts, and flickers from screens and artificial lights. Our specialists assess individual light sensitivity and customize the most suitable filter for effective daily protection.
